London's most urban woodland

Welcome to Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park

Tower Hamlets
Cemetery Park offers everyone a breathing space in the heart of East London.
This woodland cemetery is a unique place of transformation: a people's
cemetery, a place for remembrance, a sanctuary for humans as well as nature, a
place for festivals, field studies and forest schools. Always changing with the
seasons, it is rooted in the history of the East End, a place of rich heritage
that is full of possibilities and freedom for all.

Poet in Residence

Each month, Nelson will release a new poem inspired by the Cemetery Park. January's poem, titled New Beginnings is available via the pic to the left.

February's theme will be 'Coming alive - first bulbs', keep an eye out!

Funding success!

Big thanks to the LBTH & especially Cllr. Khales for his generous donation to us. Thanks to fellow participant charities for helping to raise £10,725 to go towards our work @APASENTH@bbpi100@soulfc. We feel very proud and honoured to be one of Cllr. Khales chosen charities and to have raised so much.

Launching our Heritage Trail

We are excited to share our new self-guided Heritage trail which was launched at London Open House weekend. The trail brings to life the stories of people buried here and the architecture of the memorials which commemorate them.

Pick up a leaflet on site and follow the purple and gold metal waymarkers to learn more about the fascinating history of the Cemetery. More info.

Let's Get Lost!

Wander around the Cemetery Park and lose yourself in a new sonic map, available on your smartphone via a website or app. The map features reminiscences, recordings and sound effects to create an interactive immersive experience. More info.
